Hi
I just recently took a closer look at my aloes (indoors) and found some kind of bugs on all of them. They were mostly at the bottom of the pot but I might just not be seeing them in the dirt. They are very tiny. They look like dirt until they move. They are grey and some are white. They don't fly from what I can tell. What are they and how do I make sure I get rid of all of them?
thanks!

The bugs could be caused by the ratio of sunlight to watering. Aloe's really prefer being outside with moderate waterings. If you have the plant as an indoor plant, make sure it is a south or West facing window and monitor the amount of water.
Pics of the plant and the bugs would be good. But, Bonsai is right... You may want to consider replacing the soil, provide a good drink; essentially starting over.
